ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Spy and the Traitor” by Ben Macintyre tells the gripping story of Oleg Gordievsky, a high-ranking officer in the K.G.B. who secretly worked as a double agent for M.I.6 during the Cold War. The book explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the moral complexities of espionage as Gordievsky navigates his dual life within the Soviet intelligence system. As tensions between the East and West escalate, Gordievsky provides invaluable intelligence to the British, risking his life and the safety of his family. The narrative delves into the personal sacrifices and ideological conflicts faced by those in the world of espionage.
